KEANE: Black Rain video contest winner mercoledì, 18 luglio 2012 22:50 by madseason
Keane

Keane are have released a new video for the song "Black Rain", off their amazing new album "Strangeland". Watch it now clicking on the image on the left.

The video was created by Andy Marsh, who won a contest on Genero.tv, a web platform that connects music artists with the growing community of creative filmmakers around the world who are looking for ways to show their talents and grow their careers. Genro.tv partners with artists and record labels and give people the chance to make the official music video for our featured songs.

This is what Tim Rice-Oxley said about the winning video: 

"There's a heartbreaking sense of a young boy's dreams gone awry, a yearning for innocent times and high hopes, of love and kindness remembered in the face of violence and fear. Of course, I can't say whether that's what was intended at all! But either way the atmosphere of this story fits beautifully with the sense of the song, and even the sense of Strangeland as a record. The ghostly and surreal mood of the video also works perfectly with the feel of the music itself -sound and visuals complement each other and give each other more power, which is the ultimate achievement for a music video."

In the United Kingdom "Strangeland" debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 47,839 copies: it's Keane's fifth consecutive number-one album, a record only beaten by ABBA, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and Eminem. The album also reached number one in Ireland and the Netherlands, becoming their second number-one album in both countries.
